Im excited for that fight as well, however most of the promotion is going towards this fight and bigger fighters naturally get more attention then smaller ones especially in this case.
Dont get me wrong that should be a heck of a fight but I feel Lomachenko gon navigate the length of Walters and win im thinking 9 rounds to 3

^ fight of the year status... cant wait
No way, I have a feeling it will be a boring disappointing fight. Both guys hold a lot.

Nope. Its like the time Dave Chappelle explained his stance on the Kramer "N-Word" situation..."20% of me was saying 'How could you?' and the other 80% of me was saying 'HANG IN THERE KRAMER! DON'T LET 'EM BREAK YOU KRAMER!'"

Naw, Ward is my hometown guy, I go to his fights, I like both guys, but I have to go IMO with the very slight underdog which is Kovalev, also I love his action packed fan friendly style. Ward kind of does bore me while watching his fights in person live.

Yeah he's close with Ward so probably.
Kovalev-Ward will not be close, regardless of who wins. Their styles dont match up for that kind of fight IMO.
I'm sticking with my pick of Kovalev by mid-RD KO, but it is certainly possible Ward outboxes him for 12, and it looks a lot like Postol-Crawford with maybe a little more action because I dont think Kovalev will have to respect Ward's power as much as Postol respected Crawford's.
Personally I think S6 Ward comfortably outboxes Kovalev, but Ward is not that same guy and has lost more than just a step.
Walter's is coming off a long layoff and this is really the first fight that he wont have a massive size advantage in.
Nah, Kovalev would make for much more entertaining P4P reign. He's also a pretty entertaining personality who likes to play into that Soviet heel stereotype.

Kovalev is definitely way more entertaining than Ward, that's just the nature of the Virgil Hunter school of hugging.
If only Vigil was in Amir's corner years earlier. The possibilities!

I think Pacquiao wins tomorrow but it won't be easy. Vargas is young and strong. However, I don't see many paths to victory for Vargas. There is little chance that he knocks out Pacquiao and I can't see him thoroughly outpointing him. I could see Vargas possibly knocking down Pacquiao and win by decision if he wins 4 other rounds. This fight has become more and more intriguing to me.

Heh, I think it's going to be another Margarito or Brandon Rios type fight. I may have said something different earlier but now changed my tune. Vargas will end up being a punching bag. I'm still going to order and watch this fight, only because no matter who Manny fights, it's usually entertaining and action packed.

Action wise PAC Vargas, on paper Ward kovalev all day! Ward kovalev, Ward pot shots from the outside all night and as soon as kovalev closes the gap grab and hold. Ward UD in a snoozer ZZZ [emoji]128564[/emoji]

Manny still beats every single active 140 - 147lber in the sport.
I hope he beats everyone in the top 5 just to show them how Un- special they really are

Ward is the slight favorite. It just appears that more people here are picking Kovalev, including me.
